People love natives in such a superficial way. People wanna stand with natives when we’re talking about the trees, and the land. People wanna stand with natives when we talk about philosophies of love and togetherness. But as soon as it’s time to talk about political side of being native. About dismantling a system built on the genocide of our people. About how we need a new system that isn’t built upon capital gain and benefitting white bodies. About putting up a fight. About how the colonial state we reside in is a disgusting imperial plague on this land. Suddenly y’all don’t wanna talk native.

One difficulty of rural life that I didn’t anticipate is being offered animals left and right. Kittens of course; you can’t stop at a farm to buy cheese without being offered a kitten or two. The guy ringing up my plants at the plant nursery asked if I would also be interested in a senior horse. I visited a llama farm two years ago and went home with a donkey and my mum was like ‘You never talked about getting a donkey, did you mean to get a donkey?’ of course not!! it was an accidental donkey. And today, for the second time (in six months) a neighbour (not the same one) offered me free baby goats. Again I had to say no. Is my will being tested? Like St Peter? I will deny the goats three times then hear the rooster crow? Jesus is a free baby goat?

You Are Loved You Are Loved You Are Loved You Are Loved You Are Loved You Are Loved You Are Loved You Are Loved You Are Loved You Are Loved You Are Loved You Are Loved You Are Loved

Sometimes I wonder, if I were a marrigable character in a video game, would people actually be like yeah I wanna woo this idiot or would I be on those memes people make about what your fave says about you and next to my image it says "go to therapy"

Brb just gonna imagine baby Zuko seeing those firebending magic tricks at the Fire Festival and is like the theatricality, the beauty! And begs Iroh to please teach him neat tricks please! Then when he joins the gaang he entertains them with neat effects he invented himself.

Zuko at 7 years old: I may not be as good at combat as Azula but can she do this? *creates a fire dragon that turns into confetti that turns into fireworks that sets a whole room on fire* Ha! I didn’t think so.

Anyway, Zuko bending different colored flames after discovering the dragon fire and his performances are now next level fantastic.

If you live in Alabama and you have a trans child age 19 or younger and they're receiving hormone therapy, get THE FUCK out now.

The state of Alabama has just made it a felony to give trans children ages 19 or younger hormone therapy or affirmation surgery.

Trans Lives Matter and stay safe.

-fae

IMPORTANT ADDITION: The Alabama House bill that will accompany this bill forces teachers and medical professionals to out trans youth to their parents.

THIS WILL KILL TRANS KIDS.

This combination of legislation is The most violent anti-trans legislation to date in the US. If you can do so safely, get out. Get out now. Get your children out. Please.

The idea of Luke coming up with his impression of Din solely from what Grogu tells him before they meet again is hilarious to me because

Memes then and now

There’s like 8 generations of memes here. I forget that Meme kids age too :(

Wow!

History!!!!!!

one of the weirdest ways that language is evolving in response to the internet is that “bad words” just. do not have the same impact anymore. i constantly forget that some people think ‘fuck you’ is a terrible insult

so threats and insults have to start getting really out there if the person wants to even mean anything. if a person told me to die i’d shrug it off but if i opened a post’s tags and saw “op i will sneak into your house and replace all your shoelaces with cooked pasta” do you know how shaken i’d be? do you know how upset i’d be if i saw “op is the personification of the look you share w other people in the grocery store when some dude is causing A Scene™ for no reason”

So you are saying English curses on the Internet are becoming more like Yiddish curses?

I sincerely hope so but I can’t say I’m familiar with yiddish curses and i am begging you to tell me a few

My Personal favorite is:

“May all your teeth fall out, except for one, to give you a toothache.”

“OP is a complete onion.” (their head is in the ground)

“I hope I have the privilege of sewing your shroud” is another one I like.

“May you have a hundred houses, with a hundred bedrooms each, and ten beds in each room. And may the plague throw you from one bed to the other”

“May your death be sweet. Run over by a truck full of sugar”

“May everyone congratulate your widow at your funeral”

Damn these are good.

i always forget how wild Yiddish is until somebody gives a direct translation of our expressions and then im just like ‘oh. Right.’

anime Warners sketches 

Big fan of the controversy over Lola Bunny’s Space Jam 2 design now that she no longer has tits becuase now the typical crowd that complains about desexualized designs are the ones that usually hate furries, and thus have locked themselves into a dilemma if they want Lola’s furry milkers to be the hill they want to die on to own the liberals

Even better, a large majority of people (including myself) just lowkey forgot what Lola looked like and only recalled that one iconic fanart. She never actually had bazongas in the original movie, so legally anyone who complains about the loss of her bouncy bunnies is undeniably a furry

this is both the best and worst way to find out there’s gonna be a space jam 2

“Come ere’ ya big palooka!”

yo treasure planet was literally the best 2d disney film ever made like the setting? the colors? the flawless transition? the gorgeous world building? the three dimensional characters? a main character who’s never pressured to get into anything remotely close to romance? complex relationships? an antagonist who has layers to his character? the soundtrack? i could go the FUCK on,

PLUS THIS SCENE?

AND THIS????

We’re all just suckers for lonely heroes accidentally acquiring a dad.

the reason why this movie is so underrated is that disney released it almost side by side with the harry potter movie.

treasure planet was a very, very expensive movie that used novel cgi mixed with 2d drawing, took a lot of work and money to create, the script itself was amazing to work with, the characters had arcs and depths, and the story as a whole was compelling and never off.

i don’t think anyone ever figured out why disney wanted it to flop, but the date of release was strictly suicidal for a movie. that’s why it never got the attention it deserved.

I’m so tired of every show that takes place in the past (wild west, medieval, pirates etc) ALWAYS having so much sexual violence towards women like writers can cry “oh it’s realism” all you want but it’s very transparent how realism only applies when you want to hurt women on screen. If we’re talking staying realistic, why doesn’t everyone have brown teeth? Or bad skin? Or dying of dysentery? Just admit y'all want an excuse to brutalize women on screen lol

This pisses me off so much. A lot of the time if you mention realism would also involve women having unshaved legs or pits, or bushy eyebrows, or syphilis, the answer is often “well that’s gross, no one wants to read about/see that” and like…. If you think that women being ugly is grotesque, but brutal depictions of rape aren’t, then I don’t really know what to say to you other than stay the fuck away from me.

To add to this: The pirate captains had personal codes (rules) about what was allowed on the ship, and some of them were very clear on the subject of sexual violence

“ IX. If at any time you meet with a prudent Woman, that Man that offers to meddle with her, without her Consent, shall suffer present Death. “ -From the code of Captain John Phillips

“ 9th: If any p[er]son or p[er]sons shall go on board of a Prize and meet with any Gentlewoman or Lady of Honour and should force them against their will to lie with them shall suffer death. “ -From the code of the company of Thomas Anstis

Or in other words, sexual violence against women was recognised as a crime punishable by death on actual pirate ships, don’t let anybody tell you it’s necessary for “realism” when the pirates themselves recognised how absolutely despicable it was.

“if you can’t brush your teeth that’s fine uwu one step at a time” posts are supportive and that’s great but I’m about to have a 4.4k$ dental bill because I wasn’t taking care of my teeth when I was super depressed so uhh brush your fuckin teeth

the reason I bring up those posts is because every time I saw one I felt less and less bad about not brushing them and when my teeth actually started causing problems it made my MH worse because I was having horrible anxiety about my teeth getting worse and now I’m facing procedures that will probably be pretty painful and will definitely be expensive so I kinda got some beef with the anti-recovery culture on this site

colgate makes some pretty cool little waterless disposable toothbrushes that are good to keep beside your bed or somewhere else accessible for days when brushing your teeth feels like a monumental task. they’re like $5 for a pack of 24 on amazon and i know they’re available at drug stores as well. they look like this.

i have pretty intense depressive episodes + emetophobia that is sometimes triggered by brushing my teeth so i get that it can be difficult but the OP of this post is right. dental health is really important and even using a disposable toothbrush is better than nothing!
